GCSE Schools History ProjectEnquiry in Depth: Germany, 1919–45Level 2: a simple comparison based on details in both sources, e.g. ‘Source A suggests that manypeople were interested in pleasure cruises to foreign countries, but Source B points out that mostcould not actually afford them.’Level 3: an answer based on a more developed understanding of the differences between thesources, e.g. ‘Source A implies that KdF activities were provided for the good of the people andwere very popular. Source B suggests that these activities were really just a propaganda exerciseto win people’s support and that the most attractive schemes were beyond the means of mostGermans.’Question 15Level 1: an answer that just describes differences between the sources.Level 2: an answer based on simple reasons linked to audience, author or publication date, e.g.‘Source A was written in the 1930s but Source B was written in the 1990s, so more could have beenknown about the KdF in the 1990s.’Level 3: an answer based on more developed reasons supported by additional knowledge,e.g. ‘Robert Ley was leader of the German Labour Front, so he would obviously have wanted tomake the KdF sound successful. Source B is from a textbook published many years later forstudents, so more information would have been available then and the author would have givena more objective assessment of the KdF.’Question 16Level 1: a simple answer that just describes what the source shows.Level 2: an answer linking usefulness to Nazi economic policies, e.g. ‘Source C is useful becauseit shows a big drop in unemployment, so the Nazis’ economic policies must have been successful.’Level 3: background knowledge is used to show the limitations of the source, e.g. ‘Source Cshows that the Nazis’ aim of reducing unemployment was successful, but it does not tell usabout the success of their other aims, i.e. to build up Germany’s military strength and to becomeself-sufficient.’Question 17Level 1: simple statements supported by some knowledge.Level 2: more developed statements supported by relevant knowledge, but one-sided — eitherpositive or negative; e.g. either stressing lower unemployment, improved working conditions, newleisure opportunities through the KdF or stressing long hours, low pay, loss of union rights etc.Level 3: analysis based on a more balanced view supported by knowledge — mainly one-sided.Level 4: a sustained argument based on a balanced view, both sides well supported by knowledge,and reaching a clear, supported conclusion.Topic 5 Women and the Church, 1933–45Question 1Possible answers include:• Women in top jobs, e.g. in the civil service and medicine, were sacked.• In teaching and the civil service, male applicants were given preference over females wherequalifications were equal.• After 1936, female judges and lawyers were barred from practising.Question 2The Nazis reduced the number of women in paid employment because:• They believed that a woman’s place was in the home.• They wanted women to have more children.• It would help reduce male unemployment.12
